Join the Star Challenge This Month

Posted on July 2nd, 2015

Your legs deserve a climbing workout. So grab your bike and get ready for the Star Challenge.

The challenge starts Monday and continues every Monday throughout July. You will climb some great mountains and hopefully earn a prize of two.

Here’s the skinny:

  • Riders meet at Underdog Bikes for registration at 5 p.m., then and leave at timed intervals from the intersection of Walnut and Laurel beginning at 6 p.m.
  • From there you’ll climb the Old Road to the Star (Sylvan/Prospect) as fast as you can.
  • The rider in the male, female, Clydesdale, and Athena category with the lowest combined time over three of the four weeks will be crowned King and Queen of the Mountain.
  • Not the fastest climber? There are still great prizes each week regardless of finishing order.

The event is free for all Blue Ridge Bicycle Club members. (Not a member? Learn more about joining.)
